Yes. That's why I wrote my fantasies about a presidential succession that led to the MAGA leadership being disposed of and the installation of a "benevolent" president who would introduce policies and legislation that righted many wrongs.

It was my way of producing a Project 2026. Lots of solid changes that SHOULD be laid out in the nascent rudderless Project 2029 gurgling around the internet.
There IS a revolution brewing. Too much dissatisfaction, pain and suffering around the globe. I don't know what form it will ultimately take. But here in the USA, we are seeing too many things broken. Healthcare withheld in the richest nation to have ever existed.
And other tensions that are certainly not life threatening - but unacceptable. My stepson, partner and 5 year old daughter are searching for a home to buy. Their landlord has told them they have a limited time to rent. They both have college degrees. They both have good jobs. Every home they put an offer for is lost to cash buyers who offer hundreds of thousands over the asking price. Somethin' ain't right. How can the richest country in the world not have enough housing?

Yes, we have to start writing the stories we want to come true. I also wrote a post recently about a utopia far in the future rather than a dystopia. Not because I think the world should be as in the post I wrote, but so we can imagine different things. Things we want to see in real life. I completely "dig" the story you're describing.
If a revolution isn't brewing, at least a collapse is. The story you're telling about your stepson is proof of it. It's a working family that did everything they had to do to contribute to society, yet they're still being left out. If those are the people we are leaving out, who do we expect to maintain the world we live in.
Stay strong and keep writing!
(No problem. It might take me some time to get through my long reading list, but I always eventually get to reading from the publications I subscribe to. You'll be hearing from me when I read yours.)
